FAMILY & MINISTRY HISTORY:
I grew up in New Hampshire. At the age of 16 I trusted Christ and began my journey as a child of God! I have been blessed by Christian family members, friends, and mentors who have taught, guided, and encouraged me in my walk with the Lord. I’m not perfect but I am so thankful for the grace of God in my life as He continues to mold me into His image.
I was married to my beautiful wife, Heidi, in April of 2005. Three years later, while managing a CVS/Pharmacy, God opened the door for me to begin working full time with youth in our church in Concord, NH, as the Pastor of Student Ministries. I was privileged to create and lead our new middle school youth group as well as oversee all of the children’s ministries. During that time God blessed Heidi and me with two children, Jack and Kate. Through the years, God has strengthened our passion for family ministry. We love seeing families grow in God’s grace by seeking wisdom and strength from God’s Word.
In the fall of 2016 we moved to Troy to begin a new chapter in our family’s life! It wasn’t long before we felt at home! To be honest, FBC already felt like our family even before we officially moved here. I’m so thankful for a church that loves and supports us as we seek to raise our children and serve our community.
HOBBIES:
I am an avid sports fan. I enjoy rooting for all the professional New England teams (Patriots, Red Sox, Celtics, & Bruins). I’m also a loyal University of Michigan fan. And no, that’s not negotiable, even in Ohio. I also enjoy playing golf, hunting, and fishing! Turkey hunting is my favorite. Other than those hobbies I pretty much enjoy doing anything with my kids.
EDUCATION:
BA, Humanities – Maranatha Baptist University – 2002
